Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by scooping 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into a dessert bowl. Allow it to sit for about 2 minutes to slightly soften, making it easier to blend with toppings. Softening the ice cream helps the sauce and toppings adhere more evenly.
2. 2.
   Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips in the microwave for about 30 seconds on medium power. Stir to ensure all chips are melted and smooth. If not fully melted, continue heating in 10-second intervals, stirring each time, to avoid burning the chocolate.
3. 3.
   Drizzle 1/4 cup of salted caramel sauce over the softened ice cream, ensuring it seeps into any crevices. This creates a rich, indulgent layer. Adjust the caramel's consistency if necessary by warming it slightly in the microwave if too thick.
4. 4.
   Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped roasted peanuts over the caramel-topped ice cream, adding crunchy texture. To enhance flavor, pre-toast the peanuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes until golden if desired.
5. 5.
   Finish by sprinkling 1 teaspoon of sea salt flakes over the top. The salt complements the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate, enhancing overall flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm chocolate and cold ice cream, ensuring each bite has a bit of every topping.
